Currently, blocking Javascript on Firefox seems to be all or nothing. Recently, Google made its very annoying "predictions" feature always on. The only way to block it is to disable Javascript -- but this also prevents me from enjoying many other sites, such as web radio stations. IE allows users to disable Javascript for specific sites. Since Firefox is a much better browser in most respects, it would be good to have that capability here too. If this capability already exists, please tell me where to find it. Thanks.

A couple of add-ons that block JavaScripts on some sites but allow it on others:

  • YesScript - Allows all JavaScripts by default, but lets you block JavaScripts on chosen sites.
  • NoScript - Blocks JavaScript on all sites, but allows you to specify safe sites that you want JavaScript to run on.
